As an electrician who needs a wire tracer device this seems to be one possible cheap solution to finding where wires go behind walls. I also have one of these telephone pickup coils years ago. Never knew what it was for till I seen this video. Thank you!
This is a demonstration of what raw data actually sounds like. I imported a virtual hard disk file not with Audacity, but still. ruclips.net/video/YK8vRp3bCME/видео.html
The little amp in the video comes from Radio Shack (it's an amplifier only, not a recorder.) You can also get tiny battery powered guitar amps by Marshall, Fender, etc. -- a bit more expensive, but louder, better sounding.
Thank you very much for your videos. These are a real inspiration to me. I was wondering if telephone taps or oil pickups could be harmful to the electronic appliances it's applied to ? What I mean is could the small magnet inside the pickup dislodge or badly mess with the components of my laptop, smartphone, mp3 player... ? I am guessing that the magnet is very small and should not pose any threat, but I would like to have confirmation for this. Thanks again !
I have one of these now and I just did a recording of me testing different things. I have a Yak Bak which I then used to talk into the recording. The coil works but I find that it knocks off the low end frequencies (bass) of the audio. Won't be using it on toys unless trying to get at the speaker terminals with my croc clip patch cable is not possible.
I need to find some of those coils. I think they use them on phones to record conversations but you can sniff. I bet I can use this to record audio from toys and things without tapping the speaker connections. I hope this will output the same quality sound as hooking the speaker connections of the toy direct to my soundcard.
O yes you can. I recorded a bunch of my electronic games and random toys i have and the quality is amazing. I also stuck it to the back of my iphone and i got some very strange sounds
@@Misguided_Robot273 Hey does that coil pick up the LTE transmissions when the phone is online like playing a RUclips video? I have a speaker that uses induction to play music from a phone.
@@Misguided_Robot273 I'm not trying to decode that but I am worried about interference, but it is just a coil. I have this toy that plays peppermint twist and I want to record it's audio.
Yes, but the tiny amplifier you are using is not something we all have. How, can you do the same with a stereo amplifier? What do you connect the phone tap too, in that case?
Yes, the Radio Shack amp dates this video. You can use one of those battery-powered mini guitar amps, a mixer, or you can plug it into a flash recorder or cell phone running a recorder app.
you can buy a single coil or humbucking guitar pickup on amazon , ive seen them as low as $6.50 . and you just use an 3.5mm aux cable , chop one end off & solder to pickup & plug the other into the powered speakers like you see on desktop computers. a plain pickup will have two wires, pos. & neg....... neg. solders to sleeve & pos. solders to tip. ohh. my speakers have an aux jack on the frt... if yours dont. then you will have to cut the green 3.5mm male jack off & solder your wires to there. or get a barrel/coupling adapter, if they even make one..
How kind of them to port the laptop antennas to the top of the screen and install decent shielding for that oject that will set directly over peoples reproductive organs firing out every possible harmonic the structure of the transitor tree can physically support.
Interesting a "telephone" pickup coil only picks up noise distortion from a call and not a clear conversation. A lot of these sounds sound like how TOHO did foley work on old 1960s godzilla movies.
Hmm, that's strange. On an old-fashioned desk telephone (think Ma Bell) a pickup coil on the earpiece picks up the conversation put and clear, reporters used them all the time.
@@nicolascollins6522 Thanks. Admittedly I am using modern mobile phones (burner and smartphones) which are computers hence computer static sounds. I was going to use an old school, increasingly rare, public payphone to see if I could get a different result.
Sommes nous beaucoup sur Terre à kiffer autant cette vidéo ?

thanks tim sutton for this 😌🤟
FlamingButtWinds Twitch gang rise up
THE FANDOMS STILL ALIVE!!
I AM HERE TWO YEARS LATER TO INFORM YOU THERES STILL FANS
2:04 Brings a whole new meaning to the phrase "making music with your computer" lolol
This is soooo genious!!! I can't wait to do this myself!!! Thanx for this video!
Great channel, thanks for the information 🙌
Love this. Great glitchy sounds from the discman.
Some .exe and .dll files sound like that when you import them as raw data.
@@emiriTV Could you explain how to do that?
@@michaelpage2245 If you have Audacity, hover over File at the top menu, and then hover over Import, and lastly, click on Raw Data.

Would a small speaker work also, or must it be an amplifier?
@siliconluthier Hi Nic. Making an inductor mic. Just a coil into an audio jack and amp, right? Do I need a tunable inductor for different frequencies?

1:07 Best dubstep ever !
that was amazing, thanks,
Could use this to record creepy sounds for scary games.

Where can one buy one of these? I'l like to record some of these sounds!
Love this !

Just found one on Amazon.

Plasma ball. You will not be disappointed
I will have to check this out.
What is you put this on your chest?? Can you hear your heart beat??
Had this setup in grade school.
Lucky! Must have been a progressive school.
No, I was an electronic geek by 5th grade, and I was forever visiting Radio Shack. 😉
You can clearly hear the lasers in the cd player.
love it!!
Where can I get a recorder (the amp)?
get a zoom recorder or similar, I have an h6 and it does a treat... though its a bit overkill because i record multiple powered mics quite a lot

how is this hardware hack useful in the real world?
PLEASE PLEASE NO MORE!!! 🤤
I'll tell the location of the allied forces!
Anything.. just please make it stop 😭
Am I the only one who finds the sounds creepy/scary?
